Nick Pope 7/10

Kieran Trippier 8/10
A constant threat with set pieces, Trippier made life challenging for Onana and was unlucky to see a superb free-kick effort hit the crossbar before half-time. Opened up United with his passes, and coShow more
Jamaal Lascelles 7/10
Should have capitalised on an early set piece but fell short as he headed over within the first 20 minutes, but the Magpies captain was reliable in defence as United looked for an equaliser. Getty ImaShow more
Fabian Schar 9/10
The Swiss defender was everywhere on the pitch. Desperate for a goal, he enjoyed the freedom to surge forward into space in the first half and had several efforts on goal. Defensively, he crucially heShow more
Tino Livramento 8/10
Exciting on the left flank, Livramento tormented Rashford throughout, leading to the England forward’s early departure in the second half. Equally impressive in defence. PA
Lewis Miley 7/10
Calm and composed, Miley continued to look at home in midfield alongside Bruno and Joelinton and was happy to press outside of possession. He’ll give Howe plenty to ponder when Sean Longstaff returns.Show more
Bruno Guimaraes 8/10
Ever so reliable in Newcastle’s midfield, Guimaraes controlled the midfield and fed the ball to Trippier in the lead-up to Gordon’s opener. Earlier, he tried his luck with a curling effort from the ouShow more
Joelinton 7/10
Contributed defensively and kept busy in the middle of the park, but lacked any sting to a second-half shot. Booked. AFP
Miguel Almiron 7/10
Displayed bursts of energy when charging forward to assist attacks. Tested Onana with a low effort on goal, which lacked power, before a curling effort that went wide of the far post. AFP
Alexander Isak 7/10
Missed a golden opportunity to open the scoring when his shot was deflected narrowly wide of the post. Happy to drop deeper to support play. Getty Images
Newcastle United v Manchester United - Premier League
NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 02: Anthony Gordon of Newcastle United celebrates after scoring the team's first goal during the Premier League match between Newcastle United and Manchester UnShow more
Martin Dubravka N/A
SUBS: (Pope 86’) Brought on for the closing stages, Dubravka thought he’d conceded an equaliser before an offside flag was given against Maguire. Getty Images
Matt Ritchie N/A
(Gordon 90'+8) Late change for Newcastle. Getty Images
Andre Onana 6/10
MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: Chants of "dodgy keeper" greeted him, yet he wasn’t as he saved from Almiron on 16. Beaten by Trippier’s free-kick but saved by the crossbar. Not at fault for the goal. No hShow more
Aaron Wan Bissaka 6/10
Tough against the effective Gordon, but he was mostly up for it – though he was caught off guard as Gordon crept behind him to score the only goal at the back post. AFP
Harry Maguire 7/10
Busy first half, when he did well to block a Guimaraes shot and deflect another away for a corner. Another block on 44. Booked in frustration. Offside when Antony put the ball in the net. Reuters
Luke Shaw 7/10
Solid defending alongside Maguire as he stood his ground and was twice perfectly positioned to stop Newcastle going ahead. Reuters
Diogo Dalot 5/10
Played at left back. Early mix up with Onana. A right-footer who is nowhere near as effective as Shaw at left-back. AFP
Kobbie Mainoo 6/10
Excellent ball for Rashford in a United attack on 31 – one of the few bright moments from his side in the whole game. But played in a team that were miles off their opponents. EPA
Scott McTominay 5/10
Only 30 touches, a very low figure for a central midfielder showing how Newcastle dominated. Getty Images
Alejandro Garnacho 5/10
Tenth-minute shot on goal and an early threat on the left. Then faded. PA
Bruno Fernandes 7/10
Smart early pass to Garnacho. Hammered in tackles which went unpunished. One of the few who can be satisfied with their performance. Getty Images
Marcus Rashford 4/10
Awful on the right, losing the ball, throwing his arms around and not tracking back. First to come off with Martial. Body language does not emit contentment. EPA
Anthony Martial 4/10
Preferred to Hojlund, but was poor. Didn’t track back, which saw his manager shouting at him. Subbed with Rashford. EPA
Rasmus Hojlund 5/10
SUBS: (Martial 61') Put himself about but almost no service. EPA
Antony 5/10
(Rashford 61') Put the ball in the net on 88, but Maguire was offside. Booked. EPA
Sofyan Amrabat 5/10
(Mainoo 79') Steady as United pushed late on, but woeful ball back to take the impetus out of a 94th-minute attack. Getty ImagesSergio Reguilon 6/10
